Shouldn't be obstructions of any sort in the water passageways so was it boiled out and thoroughly flushed during the rebuild? This can be done only with the water distribution tube removed so as to not damage it from the strong chemicals used in such a dip which should have removed any stalactites.
As for the head torquing, I'm not sure how it's done on diesel engines but on a Packard and probably most other flat heads, it's done in a specific pattern from the center outward to each end. The manuals show the torquing chart for reference.
